Handsel Monday
Handsel Monday is the first Monday of the year, particularly as used to be celebrated in
Scotland and northern
England. Among the rural population of Scotland,
Auld Hansel Monday, is traditionally celebrated on the first Monday after January 12. This custom reflects a reluctance to switch from the Old (Julian) style calendar to the New (Gregorian) calendar.
